I like to scan my pictures to store on my pc. Why buy such a nice and expensive scanner for that hobby you ask? It's the same reason why people go for 10+mp cameras. They like the quality and the option to print large.

Since I bought this thing, my scanned pictures are no longer fuzzy, in fact, it looks like I just took that picture with my camera.

It's slower than I'd like, and of course you can only scan one picture at a time. Also, it's pretty large to put on a desk. You can scan a 8.5x14" page if you'd like. Otherwise, it's very high quality.

Oh yes this scanner works nicely great scans with it, no complaints recommended!

If you are in the market for a new scanner then I think you should buy this one. I have never had a scanner that works this well and delivers this kind of quality. I have owned about 10 scanners in my lifetime and have used many at work and at friend’s houses but I have never seen one that I actually would consider perfect until I bought this one. There isn’t a bad thing that you can say. Set up was easy; it’s easy to operate, and scanning everything that you could possible want from film to pictures, to record and CD covers, it really has amazing capabilities and qualities. It is also very small and doesn’t take up a lot of room. [...]5 stars!!
